The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season just got a whole lot more challenging for Brad Keselowski and his No. 6 Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing Ford team. And, although it’s early in the season, their playoff hopes suffered a monster blow.
Going into this season, NASCAR made it clear penalties would be stiffer as deterrents with potentially serious and long-term implications if teams played with the Next Gen car and modified the parts supplied by the universal vendors. And that’s what happened to RFK Racing’s No. 6 team following Sunday’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
For the “[m]odification of a single source supplied part” on the No. 6 car at Atlanta, NASCAR announced Thursday crew chief Matt McCall is being fined $100,000 and suspended for the next four races, and the team is losing 100 owner points, 100 driver points and 10 playoff points.
